OKC Thunder can’t even get halftime right

Every time we mention the Thunder in print, we are bombarded by e-mails from angry readers threatening to cancel their subscriptions if we reference the former Sonics again (not much of a threat these days), so I’ll keep this short.

I know I’m not the only Seattleite who was following the Thunder early in the season when it looked like they might break the record for most losses in a season (not gonna happen). I eventually lost interest. Any season-ticket holders who are losing interest might want to think again. If they miss a game, they might miss a near-death experience.

Escape artist Kristen Johnson was unable to do what she does best a couple of weeks ago and nearly drowned in front of 17,000 Thunder fans. Strangely, several fans started clapping when Johnson was pulled from the tank she couldn’t break out of.

Maybe they thought it was part of the act? It’s fair to say that’s the most suspense the folks in OKC have felt all season.
